This easy berry vodka smash makes a cocktail that looks beautiful and tastes seriously refreshing, featuring blackberries or raspberries, mint, and lime.
Place the lime, mint leaves, and berries in cocktail shaker. Muddle (gently mash) them 4 to 5 times to extract their flavor. (Here’s more on How to Muddle Mint.)
Add the vodka, maple syrup and 4 ice cubes. Shake until cold, then pour everything into a glass. Serve with crushed ice.
